Guy: What if it comes down to Clinton and Romney? Then it's Massachusetts versus New York all over again. Every late season Red Sox and Yankees game will be filled with an even more bloated sense of false import.

Smurphette, as a former Hill rat myself, I can say they really are everywhere. It's not even like they're the ambitious, frightening, Tracy Flick-types - they're those kids who weren't even worth beating up in Middle School, cause they'd curl up into a fetal position and wail. And now they run the country.

I'll vote (reluctantly) for McCain this year, mostly because I think it's about damn time we had a president who was open about the fact that he's batshit fucking crazy.

That arm-wrestling idea is really cruel, considering McCain can't raise his arms above his shoulder thanks to the torture those Commies were inflicting on him while all you damn hippies were back home doing acid and fornicating.

That's not to say there aren't plenty of the scary Tracy Flick-types, or mini-Tucker Carlsons running around. I wasn't born until the end of 1981, so I can't really share in your hippie-rage. The fornicating part sounds good, though.

Heh, smurphette - I was born the same time as you. I just had the pleasure of growing up in communities that most closely resemble a Bible-thumping version of the hippies Cartman wars against in South Park. Think Woodstock but with more praying and Kumbaya-singing.

I find the Tracy Flick-types less scary, because they're so predictable, and they've been around for hundreds of years. Plus none of them can hold their liquor, so they're cheap dates.

@lieutenant winslow: I laughed. I should have said "really, deliciously cruel" because I still think that Johnny Mac would rip Mitten's Ken Doll-like arm out of its socket. And I would pay to see that.
